As an EOPS student, you will get to enroll in your classes earlier than students who do not have Priority Registration, increasing your chances of getting into the classes you want when you want.

Summer and Fall 2024 priority registration begins April 15, 2024, and Spring and Summer 2025 priority registration begins October 21, 2024. Students who have completed more than 100 units and/or have a cumulative GPA of less than 2.0 will not receive priority registration.

To continue helping with the cost of books, EOPS has book grants that are just for EOPS students.

The Bookstore is offering online purchases and free delivery via UPS for students enrolled in late-start classes. Provide all requested information and enter your student identification number at check out after selecting the “A/R” payment option.

EOPS books grants are a supplemental resource in place to assist eligible students in purchasing required course textbooks. Because the EOPS Book Grants are a supplemental resource, students are strongly urged to seek additional textbook resources such as the LASC Library webpage for E-books, Open Educational Resources (OER), which are free accessible textbooks and course materials available for limited disciplines available to students.

You will have access to our incredible EOPS counselors who can talk with you about career possibilities and recommend careers that match your interests and skills. They will help you arrange your class schedule and create an education plan. Be sure to let them know how your classes are going so they can help you be successful. They are your resource! So, feel free to talk with them about life, school, work, or whatever is on your mind.
